A glimpse into my life...

Happy birthday to the GOAT. I can say a lot of great things about you but I’ll keep it simple. We love you for all you do and all that you are. Thanks for being the greatest husband and father. . . . #itsyourbirthday #goat #hubbyforlife #bestfatherever #loveyou #fatherhood #colorfactory #nyc #birthday

Sunday thoughts. Before motherhood there were spaces in my life that I called my own and now those spaces are shared. Some of the most vulnerable places in my life invite Calvin into them. Whether I like or not. On the days were I’m crying and a hot mess he stares completely clueless to my emotions. He is present in the times when Ruben and I are in conflict and I wonder if he senses the silence between us. He is present in moments when I’m changing and looking in the mirror wondering if I can even call myself beautiful in this Postpartum body. He invites himself into those areas without even acknowledging it. I think that’s the hardest part of motherhood for me. His presence breaks through all the spaces in my life that I want to hide from others, It’s the same places God meets me in. So whether it’s in the bathroom, the dirty kitchen, in front of the mirror meltdowns or in my bed, He is there. What are those areas you try to hide in ? God wants to meet you there. He wants you to share that space with Him. . . . #transparentcitymama #momlife #honestmotherhood #babylistbabes #vulnerability #realmotherhood

Weekends are for family time. This our second time coming to @cmomnyc and we love everything about it. So many things to do. Little man finally got to explore on his own and he had such a wonderful time. If you live in the city, definitely take a trip to the children’s museum. I love watching these two, Calvin is definitely a daddy’s boy. We both have our moments with him but I know who he really likes. LOL #transparentcitymama

Just know these last two days I’ve missed your helping hands. Thanks for being such a great lover and helper, our home and I go crazy without you. I hope you never get sick again. Haha ❤️ . . . Also, if you didn’t know... my hubby loves art and he’s pretty great at it. Check out his page @artbydario and stay tune for more art. #amordelbueno #marriage

Truth be told, by 7:45pm I’m anxiously waiting for hubby to get home so I can pass Calvin over to him and finally get a break. I love being with Calvin but I also want some time alone. I use to feel bad about saying that and sometimes I still do. I work all day, run to pick him up from daycare, we play together, eat and watch a movie sometimes. During the movie time I sit on the couch and try to pay attention but I’m either falling asleep or scrolling through my phone. Some days I have the energy to interact more with him or I’m just hoping he goes to bed early enough for me to rest. Has any mama ever felt that way ? Why is it that we feel shame for even asking for some time alone ? I think we determine how much we love our kids by how much time we spend with them but honestly speaking, if I don’t rest, if I don’t recharge I’m running on nothing. I can’t love Calvin well if I’m not taking care of me. - Rest is good, rest is needed mama. . . . #transparentcitymama

At work my students always assume I live in this really big house in a nice neighborhood, I have a lot of money and everything about my life is perfect. It was till I had some of them over and they were in shock of my reality. “ Ms, you definitely don’t live in no house!, You live in the Bronx , dass crazy!”. I laughed. How often are we wrong about people’s lives ? I’m a Bronx native, living in a two bedroom apartment in a some what safe area. Living across from Manhattan because rent is to high to afford there. My husband and I don’t have high pay jobs and our marriage is far from perfect. I take public transportation around the city and I’m raising one the cutest little boys in the big city. When I started the blog my desire was to be transparent and encourage mothers like myself. Mothers who live average lives, come from different culture backgrounds and who desire motherly friendships. - I love sharing baby gear with you all but I desire sharing my heart and struggles more. I’m just an ordinary mom, embracing motherhood through it’s highs and lows and hoping to make some pretty amazing mama friends through it. What are some things you wish more moms were honest about ? I would love to hear from you. Have a Happy Monday! #transparentcitymama

- I just hope darkness never keeps you from the light. . . . . . . #transparentcitymama #calvinjoaquin #motherhood

Oh Monday’s, Anyone else struggle this morning to shake off the weekend and mentally prepare for today ? I know did. Calvin slept a lot longer today, which gave us enough time to get ready before he woke up. Mornings like today keep me longer at home, because I delay my time trying to spend at least five more minutes with him. These are the mornings I long to be home with him. And on the other had I also have to mentally prepare myself for my students. So much happens on the weekends for them, some of them are anxious about coming to school and others long to be at school because they hate home, school is their home. . Every morning I have to begin my day praying, asking God to prepare me for whatever conversations I will have throughout the day with them and filling my heart with patience, love and empathy. Some days are really overwhelming and other days seem so light. How’s your Monday going ? How do you prepare yourself on Monday’s ? . . 📷: @mickeytrueoriginal . . . . . . #transparentcitymama #calvinjoaquin #motherhood

Happy super bowl Sunday!! Anyone else just spending their Sunday on the couch cuddled up ? Or just maybe cleaning up vomit ? Ha! In my case, toddler vomit. Right after Calvin and I had some cuddle time, he vomited all over me. It made sense why he was extra cuddly today! lol. Anyways, today’s message at church was everything I needed to hear. What does it mean to live a life of joy despite grief, struggles, and mourning ? Can you believe that Jesus sang as he prepared himself to the cross ? Wow. As I enter my 28th year of life this week, I want to spend time reflecting on all the ways God has answered my prayers and blessed me with things I don’t deserve. Through Motherhood He has taught me a lot about finding joy even in the hardest of days and moments, but Jesus is the reason I can even feel joy at all. I’ll be sharing more on the blog this Thursday. Enjoy your Sunday!! . . . . #transparentcitymama #calvinjoaquin #motherhood
